Why did they put the draw out without knowing the plans of the Governments? They should have put TBC for grounds until clarification. They put the draw out before the first meeting of the new committee! I think they could play all of the inter country games and then all head to OZ for a super round and the Trans Ta$man games.
TBF this Covid shite is going to keep changing and being reacted too. planning anything 6 months out is fraught with danger.
However you still have to lay down your plans (and this goes for sports comps and governments both) then adjust.
It is a planning nightmare right now. Everything needs to be laid out with a *

Seems that you could readily do some tours though. Play a Friday game in Aus, then travel Saturday, 7 day isolation, and play Sunday in NZ. Then travel internally, and back across the Tassie.
1-2 teams playing in Aus each Friday could be the shot, opens up the travel opportunity.
-
surely they can set something up with more super rounds, first four or five rounds in NZ, then everyone has a bye and goes to aus for the second half of the season

7 days MIQ plus 3 days at home iso - so not going to work, sadly

ah blast. I thought it was 7 days only, not 7+3.
10 days means you need a bye week to travel, which sucks.
-
surely a bye 10 days is better than all in one country, the players are always going on about needing a break anyway
a 10 day bye followed by a super round to get everyone excited again

I think this is what they will do - and cross their fingers that by April the restrictions are eased (isn't April the tentative month from when the current restrictions are to be re-visited?)

“Most of those teams have learnt enough, and there's enough support and infrastructure around them, and international experience to be able to manage bubbles incoming and outgoing.
Ironic when some wallabies are stuck in the UK with covid and their awesome bubble they had. They're dreaming, no exceptions was stated when it was announced.

Do they even have editors at that place?
Quote from the article:
“It's not something we’ve put a lot of thought into as a club, because that's up to the competition to make those decisions, but I know every option is being considered to make sure that we can play Super Rugby Pacific in 2020.” -
@derpus said in Super Rugby 2022:
@machpants didn't they leave the bubble to participate in the Barbarians game?
If that was considered 'in the bubble' then they have a pretty loose definition...
'I am seething about the comments' - Baa-Baas' boss considering legal action
Barbarians president John Spencer has said he is considering legal action against two internationals after comments in the aftermath of...

@derpus said in Super Rugby 2022:
@machpants Ah goodo, i see he played the 'i'm a lawyer card'.
Also - explains nothing..
Nah my point was we have, in NZ, rugby bosses touting their knowledge and processes, and the knowledge and processes around the world, as so good and awesome. At the same time we have people using the same awsome processes cancelling games and getting stuck in the UK or SA due to those same processes not working. They have a much better opinion of their ability to keep covid bubbles working than the MoH will, imo

i am not sure that people fully appreciate what sort of sacrifices NZ sports people are making to ensure we have something on the TV
The Warriors have been in Aus for 2 years. The ABs have just got back from like 3 months overseas, and at this rate will head back in 2 months.
The Breakers did their stint as well, and looks like they will again.
It's bad enough for the Aussie guys who basically all moved to Qld for most of last year.
